About

A tech-tilted, rules-based plan: hold SPY+VGT in uptrends, shift to cash or a volatility hedge when markets look overheated or weak, buy tech on deep dips, and occasionally bet on a sharp semiconductor rebound during panics.
NutHow it works
Own stocks when the long-term trend is up; move to cash/hedges when it’s not. It buys dips and cools off after sharp run-ups. - Base: split SPY (US stocks) and VGT (tech) when SPY > 200-day avg; otherwise QQQ/PSQ/TLT decide SPY+VGT vs cash (BIL). - Short-term “too hot” (RSI high): 50/50 BIL + UVXY (volatility; very risky). - “Washed-out” (RSI low): VGT only. - Extreme panic: brief SOXL (3× semis; very risky). RSI = speed-of-moves score: high=hot, low=cold.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
